Configuring VLAN Trunks

Configuring Trunk Ports for Load Sharing

 

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 11

show interfaces interface-idswitchport

Verifies the VLAN configuration.

 

Example:

 

 

Switch# show interfaces gigabitethernet1/0/1

 

Step 12

Repeat the above steps on Switch A for a second port in

 

 

the switch or switch stack.

 

Step 13

Repeat the above steps on Switch B to configure the

 

 

trunk ports that connect to the trunk ports configured on

 

 

Switch A.

 

Step 14

show vlan

Example:

Switch# show vlan

When the trunk links come up, VTP passes the VTP and VLAN information to Switch B. This command verifies that Switch B has learned the VLAN configuration.

Step 15

configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode on Switch A.

 

Example:

 

 

Switch# configure terminal

 

Step 16

interface interface-id

Defines the interface to set the STP port priority, and

 

 

enters interface configuration mode.

 

Example:

 

 

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/1

 

Step 17

spanning-tree vlan vlan-rangeport-priority

Assigns the port priority for the VLAN range specified.

 

priority-value

Enter a port priority value from 0 to 240. Port priority

 

 

values increment by 16.

 

Example:

 

 

Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree vlan 8-10

 

 

port-priority 16

 

Step 18

exit

Returns to global configuration mode.

 

Example:

 

 

Switch(config-if)# exit

 

Step 19

interface interface-id

Defines the interface to set the STP port priority, and

 

 

enters interface configuration mode.

 

Example:

 

 

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/2
